sherlock_n modest_a examination_n of_o the_o oxford_n decree_n as_o he_o call_v it_o i_o have_v see_v it_o and_o find_v he_o be_v very_o angry_a and_o under_o great_a mistake_v he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o frontispiece_n with_o his_o title_n at_o large_a william_n sherlock_n d._n d._n dean_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v master_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o chaplain_n in_o ordinary_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o think_v much_o that_o what_o he_o say_v though_o without_o name_v he_o shall_v be_v censure_v consider_v his_o profession_n character_n and_o station_n in_o the_o church_n p._n 2._o the_o title_n he_o give_v it_o and_o at_o which_o he_o quarrel_n decretum_fw-la oxoniense_n or_o the_o oxford_n decree_n be_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v a_o title_n of_o his_o own_o sure_o it_o be_v none_o of_o they_o who_o make_v it_o who_o be_v therefore_o therein_o not_o concern_v whether_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o decretum_fw-la oxoniense_n nor_o be_v he_o name_v in_o it_o but_o only_o a_o sermon_n censure_v which_o be_v preach_v at_o oxford_n by_o another_o person_n if_o dr._n sherlock_n be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o that_o other_o person_n that_o be_v not_o our_o fault_n it_o be_v print_v he_o say_v in_o latin_n in_o these_o word_n etc._n etc._n true_a but_o not_o with_o that_o spell_a for_o instance_n prefectorum_fw-la be_v not_o print_v once_o and_o again_o with_o a_o single_a e_fw-la instead_o of_o praefectorum_fw-la with_o a_o ae_z and_o it_o be_v hope_v so_o great_a a_o critic_n as_o he_o will_v be_v think_v pag._n 5._o may_v have_v be_v able_a to_o spell_v true_a when_o he_o have_v a_o print_a copy_n before_o he_o he_o than_o fancy_n or_o will_v be_v think_v to_o think_v that_o some_o malicious_a animadverter_n p._n 1._o 5._o have_v translate_v this_o latin_a into_o english_a for_o the_o benefit_n and_o edification_n of_o his_o english_a reader_n but_o that_o be_v one_o of_o his_o great_a mistake_v it_o be_v print_v at_o oxford_n both_o in_o latin_a and_o english_a the_o same_o day_n and_o by_o the_o same_o authority_n and_o it_o be_v believe_v dr._n sherlock_n know_v it_o be_v and_o the_o english_a as_o there_o print_v be_v as_o much_o a_o original_a as_o the_o latin_a how_o it_o be_v reprint_v at_o london_n i_o know_v not_o and_o i_o doubt_v the_o animadverter_n if_o he_o have_v do_v it_o will_v rather_o have_v say_v it_o be_v for_o the_o benefit_n and_o edification_n of_o dr._n sherlock_n for_o fear_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v understand_v latin_n for_o it_o be_v at_o this_o rate_n they_o use_v to_o talk_v to_o one_o another_o if_o the_o hawkers_o at_o london_n have_v cause_v it_o to_o be_v reprint_v with_o a_o new_a title_n and_o note_n upon_o it_o to_o make_v it_o fall_v the_o better_a and_o put_v it_o into_o the_o weekly_a advertisement_n for_o that_o purpose_n who_o can_v help_v it_o but_o the_o critic_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o latin_a as_o transgress_v the_o plain_a rule_n of_o grammar_n in_o use_v eorum_fw-la fidei_fw-la &_o curae_fw-la commissis_fw-la for_o suae_fw-la of_o that_o let_v the_o critic_n judge_v if_o commit_v to_o their_o care_n have_v be_v mean_v of_o they_o joint_o i_o think_v the_o word_n suae_fw-la may_v have_v be_v use_v but_o when_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o they_o respective_o i_o think_v eorum_fw-la do_v better_a suae_fw-la curae_fw-la commissi_fw-la be_v in_o plain_a english_a commit_v to_o their_o own_o care_n but_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o care_n of_o other_o and_o who_o those_o other_o be_v eorum_fw-la be_v to_o signify_v and_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v by_o what_o plain_a rule_n of_o dr._n sherlock_n be_v grammar_n if_o he_o have_v a_o grammar_n eorum_fw-la may_v not_o be_v so_o use_v but_o i_o will_v not_o advise_v dr._n sherlock_n to_o venture_v too_o much_o at_o criticism_n i_o doubt_v his_o talon_n do_v not_o lie_v that_o way_n in_o what_o case_n we_o must_v use_v suae_fw-la and_o in_o what_o eorum_fw-la and_o in_o what_o we_o may_v indifferent_o use_v either_o better_a critic_n than_o dr._n sherlock_n and_o i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o determine_v the_o pretend_a false_a english_a in_o that_o remark_n who_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o may_v be_v note_a that_o the_o proposition_n abovementioned_a be_v dr._n sherlock_n be_v in_o his_o discourse_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o defender_n of_o it_o of_o that_o discourse_n and_o write_v against_o by_o the_o animadverter_n i_o be_o yet_o to_o seek_v i_o think_v it_o be_v true_a english_a when_o dr._n sherlock_n tell_v we_o where_o the_o bad_a english_a lie_n let_v the_o noter_fw-la answer_v it_o the_o vicechancellor_n and_o head_n of_o house_n be_v not_o therein_o concern_v mean_a while_n i_o think_v his_o two_o criticism_n to_o be_v two_o mistake_v he_o tell_v we_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o oxford_n convocation_n be_v indeed_o decretum_fw-la oxoniense_n or_o a_o decree_n of_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n be_v it_o so_o but_o not_o that_o of_o the_o head_n of_o college_n and_o hall_n very_o true_a nor_o do_v they_o say_v it_o be_v but_o if_o that_o will_v do_v he_o a_o kindness_n a_o vote_n of_o convocation_n may_v have_v be_v have_v as_o easy_o for_o as_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o any_o one_o dissent_v in_o the_o meeting_n of_o head_n so_o i_o believe_v there_o will_v have_v be_v as_o few_o in_o convocation_n if_o it_o have_v be_v propose_v there_o some_o perhaps_o will_v rather_o have_v have_v it_o pass_v not_o there_o only_o but_o in_o convocation_n also_o but_o if_o so_o it_o be_v to_o pass_v there_o first_o before_o it_o come_v to_o convocation_n but_o he_o say_v p._n 6._o the_o statute_n refer_v such_o censure_n not_o to_o the_o meeting_n of_o head_n but_o to_o the_o vicechancellor_n and_o six_o head_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n and_o to_o one_o or_o both_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o divinity_n the_o word_n head_n in_o this_o last_o clause_n be_v another_o of_o he_o mistake_v for_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o the_o six_o doctor_n of_o divinity_n shall_v all_o be_v head_n of_o house_n the_o vicechancellor_n may_v as_o well_o advise_v with_o other_o doctor_n but_o be_v it_o so_o there_o be_v at_o least_o six_o head_n of_o house_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n and_o one_o or_o both_o of_o the_o two_o professor_n of_o divinity_n but_o be_v it_o there_o say_v he_o may_v not_o advise_v with_o more_o than_o six_o if_o instead_o of_o call_v six_o head_n he_o call_v they_o all_o be_v there_o any_o hurt_n in_o this_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v all_o unanimous_a but_o he_o say_v p._n 3._o they_o be_v not_o all_o present_a very_o good_a before_o we_o have_v too_o many_o now_o we_o have_v too_o few_o but_o all_o be_v warn_v and_o if_o some_o chance_v to_o be_v out_o of_o town_n it_o be_v but_o what_o will_v have_v be_v in_o a_o convocation_n some_o of_o the_o wise_a head_n he_o say_v be_v absent_a and_o some_o present_n dissent_v that_o some_o be_v absent_a be_v very_o like_a but_o that_o any_o present_a do_v dissent_n i_o have_v not_o hear_v or_o that_o any_o then_o absent_a do_v dislike_v the_o sentence_n when_o they_o hear_v it_o but_o if_o the_o meeting_n of_o the_o head_n of_o house_n be_v so_o venerable_a a_o authority_n he_o will_v he_o say_v undertake_v any_o day_n in_o the_o year_n to_o procure_v a_o meeting_n of_o twice_o as_o many_o as_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o censure_v their_o decree_n very_o modest_o speak_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o and_o he_o be_v wise_a and_o learned_a man_n at_o least_o he_o think_v so_o but_o what_o be_v those_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o do_v to_o censure_v their_o decree_n very_o good_a perhaps_o they_o will_v some_o of_o they_o not_o many_o advise_v to_o put_v suae_fw-la instead_o of_o eorum_fw-la but_o will_v those_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n say_v as_o he_o do_v that_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n and_o three_o individual_a substance_n i_o doubt_v he_o will_v not_o find_v it_o so_o easy_a every_o day_n in_o the_o year_n to_o procure_v a_o meeting_n of_o twice_o so_o many_o wise_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o say_v this._n i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o his_o new_a doctrine_n do_v make_v so_o many_o proselyte_n but_o suppose_v their_o authority_n he_o ask_v how_o far_o their_o authority_n extend_v
and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o wise_a thing_n he_o can_v do_v what_o be_v the_o thousand_o jacobite_n story_n he_o talk_v of_o p._n 1_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o now_o he_o be_v or_o be_v not_o a_o jacobite_n whether_o he_o have_v or_o have_v not_o be_v or_o whether_o sometime_o he_o have_v and_o sometime_o have_v not_o be_v nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n if_o he_o will_v still_o insist_v upon_o it_o that_o if_o a_o person_n be_v a_o mind_n a_o spirit_n a_o substance_n then_o three_o person_n must_v be_v three_o distinct_a mind_n spirit_n and_o substance_n p._n 18._o as_o distinct_a as_o adam_n and_o abel_n though_o not_o separate_v p._n 20._o he_o know_v it_o will_v not_o be_v allow_v he_o because_o mind_n spirit_n substance_n be_v in_o their_o proper_a signification_n absolute_a but_o person_n in_o its_o proper_a signification_n be_v a_o relative_n term._n if_o dr._n sherlock_n be_v dean_n of_o paul_n s_o dean_n of_o windsor_n and_o dean_n of_o westminster_n shall_v we_o thence_o argue_v that_o since_o a_o dean_n be_v a_o man_n a_o animal_n a_o substance_n therefore_o because_o of_o three_o distinct_a substantial_a deanery_n they_o be_v or_o he_o be_v three_o distinct_a man_n three_o distinct_a animal_n and_o three_o distinct_a substance_n i_o think_v not_o because_o man_n animal_n substance_n be_v term_n absolute_a but_o dean_n be_v relative_n and_o the_o same_o absolute_a be_v may_v admit_v without_o be_v multiply_v many_o relative_n predicate_v i_o shall_v rather_o say_v that_o dr._n sherlock_n will_v in_o such_o case_n sustain_v three_o person_n without_o be_v three_o man_n three_o animal_n or_o three_o substance_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o sabellianism_n for_o though_o dean_n of_o paul_n be_v a_o relative_n name_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o empty_a name_n but_o do_v import_v a_o substantial_a dignity_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o relation_n and_o a_o substantial_a man_n as_o the_o subject_a of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o his_o other_o relation_n and_o this_o have_v be_v tell_v he_o so_o often_o that_o we_o can_v think_v the_o dean_n so_o dull_a as_o not_o to_o apprehend_v the_o distinction_n but_o so_o wilful_a as_o that_o he_o scorn_v to_o own_v it_o but_o will_v still_o have_v we_o think_v that_o mind_n spirit_n person_n be_v term_n equivalent_a and_o therefore_o jumble_v they_o together_o as_o such_o which_o will_v not_o be_v admit_v or_o if_o they_o be_v equivalent_a why_o can_v he_o content_v himself_o with_o what_o be_v general_o receive_v three_o person_n but_o must_v impose_v upon_o we_o his_o new_a term_n of_o three_o distinct_a mind_n three_o distinct_a spirit_n and_o three_o distinct_a substance_n but_o scorn_v and_o flounce_a will_v not_o carry_v it_o off_o the_o consequence_n will_v hold_v more_o strong_o thus_o if_o a_o infinite_a eternal_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v god_n then_o three_o distinct_a infinite_a eternal_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v three_o go_n for_o here_o the_o term_n be_v all_o absolute_a not_o relative_n and_o if_o to_o maintain_v obstinate_o that_o there_o be_v three_o god_n that_o be_v three_o eternal_a infinite_a mind_n or_o spirit_n be_v not_o heresy_n what_o be_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o but_o a_o new_a trick_n to_o play_v the_o game_n into_o the_o socinian_n hand_n by_o grant_v to_o they_o their_o darling_n notion_n that_o to_o
